Bruce Willis has fallen victim to an ailment that affects all parents at one time or another – the belief that your tales of child-raising are as amusing to everyone else as they are to you. It’s evidenced by a recent demonstration the British show “Daybreak,” in which Willis shows how he entertains his daughter by taking a drink of water and spits it out on the floor. Amusing for his baby girl, perhaps, but not for anyone else. And we have to wonder, does Bruce have carpets or hardwood floors? less

Rihanna has a hard time relaxing in her California pool. Instead of sunbathing, she’s busy trying to drown the local bees, which seem to like taking baths, and might be zombie bees as they stubbornly refuse to succumb to Rihanna’s attacks. She told Complex magazine, "They bug the hell out of me... They come and take baths, splashing and swimming. When they're done they get to the edge, hop out, dry off, and just fly away. I try to drown them because I'm freaked out by bees but they don't die." less

Sofia Vergara’s wedding proposal almost got her arrested, she told Ellen DeGeneres. Vergara said her fiancé, Nick Loeb, proposed to her atop the Chichen Itza pyramids in the Yucatan. A romantic idea, yes, until he escorted her over a rope into an archaeological area that was blocked to public entry. When the happy couple emerged, security guards at the site threatened to arrest them, but they managed to talk their way out of it. less

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian learned the hard way not to use their celebrity to bypass TSA security lines at the airport. After being whisked off of a flight from Brazil to JFK International Airport, the pair were whisked away to their connecting flight through a non-public area, a TSA rep told TMZ.com. Kim and Kanye were then yanked off their connecting flight to be screened, causing a 50 minute delay for those lucky enough to share the plane with them. less

As if Ke$ha weren’t attractive enough already, she’s now been caught on video drinking her own urine in her upcoming MTV documentary filmed by her brother, “Ke$ha: My Crazy Beautiful Life.”
She told the BBC: "He got all the things you would want to see and all the things you wouldn't really want to see - making out with dudes, drinking my own pee, jumping out of a building, jumping out of aeroplanes, swimming with sharks...
"I was told drinking my own pee was good... Somebody tried to take my pee away from me and I said, 'That is mine!' So I snatched it up and took a chug and it was really gross so I don't do it anymore." We’re glad her decision-making skills are still developing. less

Chubby Checker is not terribly pleased with a cheeky new HP app bearing his name that estimates the size of a man’s penis based on shoe size.
From the app’s description: "Any of you ladies out there just start seeing someone new and wondering what the size of there (sic) member is? All you need to do is find out the man's shoe size and plug it in... Now with the Chubby Checker there is no need for disappointment or surprise..."
The singer's attorneys claim Hewlett-Packard's marketing men have done "irreparable damage and harm" to their client. And now we’ve all thought about Chubby Checker for the first time since they were doing “The Twist” on “Mad Men.” less

Jenny McCarthy’s go-go girls scared off opera singer Josh Groban, who pulled out of her new late-night talk show after showing up to the studio and watching the first five minutes of taping. McCarthy said it’s ok if certain stars don’t want to be associated with her show. She told Access Hollywood, "I felt like I wanted to bring some sexy girls like you'd see in a nightclub; my show is very much like a nightclub - there's a bartender and a DJ... (They're) dressed the same as you see in Vegas, kinda cabaret style." less

One Direction lost a ton of money in Las Vegas last year and got in big trouble with their managers. Wait a second. One Direction – they’re like, 12 years old, right? Somehow, the underage pop stars still managed to gamble, and apparently they are not very good at gambling. Singer Niall Horan told a British magazine recently that he won $100 but it “got a bit ugly” for the rest of his bandmates. And then they were all grounded and sent to their rooms. less

Tim McGraw, who claims to idolize Bruce Springsteen, was embarrassed at a charity show when Springsteen called McGraw up on stage to sing “Glory Days.” McGraw recalled, "You don't wanna say that you don't know the words... at a function honoring somebody who's one of your heroes... so I said, 'I can get through it,' but I still tried to hide after I said it.
"I came in late and then the teleprompter was going and I couldn't find my words and so I just had to laugh and hand it back to Bruce... It was pretty embarrassing." less

Reality TV stars Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt are providing a master class on how to manage money. The couple is now broke after blowing $10 million in anticipation of the 2012 Mayan apocalypse. Pratt told Britain's OK! Magazine that he spent $80,000 on a quartz crystal from a volcano in Peru and started buying people cars. "I spent over $1 million on men's clothing because I wanted people to take me seriously as an A-lister. I wanted to be in the fashion magazines alongside Brad Pitt." Montag became obsessed with Birkin bags and Victoria Beckham’s style. They also lost $2 million by setting up their own record label to launch Montag's singing career. less

Sylvester Stallone quit Twitter after coming to the stunning realization that if you say controversial things, then send those things out into the world, the world is going to send things back (some of them not-nice).
He told the British magazine Nuts, “I used to tweet but it’s an act of futility. You’re not really making any impact. It might be a great promotional tool, but just to make small talk, it’s crazy.
“If you find yourself in a mood when you wanna be a bit controversial and you post something, you suddenly realize, ‘Oh my God!’ because you’ve opened yourself up to a bunch of criticism from strangers.”
Best to let your handlers handle Twitter for you, Stallone. less

Yes, Sir Paul McCartney gets to be in this gallery twice, because we can’t not report on his elderly, really terrible-looking sheep. The vegetarian star told a British radio station that he refuses to have the sheep slaughtered, and from his description it seems that Scottish sheep do not age well. "It can be embarrassing. People say, 'Look at the state of your sheep!' And I say, 'Yes, they're very old. There's only one alternative - to send them off to the knacker's yard (slaughterhouse).'” less
